The film The Hours, adapted from the book with the same title – which
in turn is a transposition of the novel Mrs. Dalloway, by Virginia Woolf – has a narrative
structure of alternating episodes that correspond to three main plots (together with a
fourth plot in the prologue and epilogue). Each of the main plots reflect a day in the life of
three women. Shared motifs among the plots and the treatment of time – which follows
the narrative structure of the stories, giving additional prominence to the main themes
of the film – create a strong sense of cohesion.^^^^
